The Teachers Union and Child Sex Trafficking

The Washington Education Association recently denied a Christian teacher’s request to have her dues diverted to a charity that opposes sex trafficking. The teacher objected to funding the WEA’s support for abortion and same-sex “marriage” with her dues.

In states where public school teachers are required to pay union dues in order to work, federal law allows legitimate religious objectors to divert their dues money to a lawful charity. Quite often, as the GOPUSA article indicates, unions fight with teachers to keep them from diverting their money or at least squabbles indefinitely about which charity can be “mutually agreed upon.” That’s where the National Right to Work Foundation comes in, defending the individual interests of teachers whose consciences often are violated by the union’s stonewalling.
